Italian term or phrase: sentiero attrezzato
Can anyone help me with the English equivalent of the CAI classification "sentiero attrezzato". For "via ferrata", I've come across various possibilities such as "iron path" or "iron way", or the term simply left in Italian. But I've found nothing convincing for "sentiero attrezzato". Below is the definition of the two terms taken from Wikipedia:

- Sentiero attrezzato (EE - itinerario per escursionisti esperti). Sentiero con infissi (funi corrimano e brevi scale) che però non snaturano la continuità del percorso.

- Via ferrata o attrezzata (EEA - itinerario per escursionisti esperti con attrezzatura). Itinerario che conduce l'alpinista su pareti rocciose o su creste e cenge, preventivamente attrezzate con funi e/o scale senza le quali il procedere costituirebbe una vera e propria arrampicata. Richiede adeguata preparazione ed attrezzatura quale casco, imbragatura e dissipatore.

Thanks for any suggestions.

path with handrails


Explanation:
Piuttosto comune. Molti sentieri attrezzati non hanno scale o gradini, ma tutti hanno dei corrimano.
